It was ironic to think about it. The Education Bureau had been established by the Great Tang, and in a few years, Li Shimin was going to abolish it.
"Guanyin Maid, if those girls are orphans under the age of twelve, send them to the Royal Primary School. The rest can be arranged to other industries.”Li Shimin said as he patted Zhangsun Huang's hand.
Li Shi Min's interest waned as he sat on the rocking chair with his eyes closed.
Empress Zhangsun felt sorry for Li Shiming when she saw him like this. In Empress Zhangsun's eyes, the things that Li Shiming had done in the past year were incomparable to the previous emperors. The emperors had worked too hard and were too tired.
She couldn't help much with government affairs. She could only manage the harem and the royal family's industries as well as possible and be her good wife.
While Li Shiming and Empress Zhangsun were discussing this matter, the news spread as the officials returned home.
Moreover, this news spread very quickly. Some people were happy, while others were worried.
The difference between Li Shimin's decrees and the ones he had issued in the past was that there were many people who were happy.
This time, it was unknown whether there were more people who were happy or sad.
The ordinary officials were calculating their own gains and losses. Since their salaries would be directly distributed in money in the future, the land under their names would belong to the country, so this had nothing to do with it.
The main thing was that the Yongye Field under his own name would suffer a loss. At the very least, it would reduce his income by 20%. However, he was still wearing his official clothes, so he definitely could not bear to take it off. He could only accept this fact.
However, when those aristocratic families and landowners heard this news, they were unable to accept it.
Although they still had businesses and many industries, they could not withstand the large amount of land their family had. How much would they lose?
However, the servants of these people also knew about this news. They were all very excited, but they did not dare to show it on their faces.
Even the servants who were loyal to these families were no exception. Although he could be loyal to this family, he did not want his descendants to carry the slave status for generations.
At this moment, the Li family of Zhao County, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, and the Zheng family of Xingyang were sitting together.
The head of the Lu family said angrily,"The emperor is preparing to kill us this time. He won't even let go of the land we rely on to survive."”
The head of the Cui family of Qinghe continued,"Remove the slave status?" Could it be that the emperor's son did not even understand the principle that some people were born noble and some were born lowly, only worthy of being servants?”
She really didn't know why he had such thoughts. However, the expressions of the people around him clearly agreed with his point of view. They indeed thought that they were superior and that their bloodline was incomparably noble.
They even looked down on the royal bloodline and thought that they were not purebred Han Chinese.
In history, Li Shimin had asked someone to give a red mole to Princess Jin Yang, who was also known as Little Si Zi, but was rejected.
The reason was that one-fourth of his blood was Hu, and the Han blood was impure. At that time, Li Shimin was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
It was obvious how arrogant they were. They didn't think about it, the Wang family of Shanxi was actually the family with the most foreign bloodlines, but they could turn a blind eye to it.
"Why did those two families fail last time? Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this.”These were the words of the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang.
At this time, the Zhao County Li Family Head appeared very impatient. Or do we have to discuss how to stop the emperor's son from removing his slavery status? Otherwise, do we have to plant those lands ourselves?”
Hence, everyone started to come up with ideas.
"We should unite everyone and put pressure on the Emperor's son at the court meeting tomorrow.”
"Although many of our people have been dismissed, there are still many officials in the capital and other places. If they all choose to resign, can the court still operate?”
"Yes…we should do this. We must let the Emperor know how powerful we are.”
In the end, the head of the Li family of Zhao County said,"This matter doesn't just concern our families. We can't just have our families contribute. Contact the other families."”
So they left the courtyard and went to find Kong Yingda, Li Gang, Xiao Yu, and the others to discuss countermeasures.
What they did not know was that their actions were seen by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Hence, a preliminary investigation was carried out.
Li Shi Min was receiving a report from the chamberlain that Ma Zhou wanted to see him. Although Li Shi Min found it strange, he still saw him.
"Your Majesty, this evening, the Li family of Zhao County, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, and the Zheng family of Xingyang gathered at the Li family of Zhao County. In the end, they went to see Kong Yingda, Li Gang, Xiao Yu, and other ministers of the court.”Ma Zhou bowed to Li Shi Min and said.
"Do you know why?" Li Shi Min was a poor man who had been through a lot of experience. Now, he was able to remain calm when faced with problems. This kind of behavior was also very confident.
He had a large number of soldiers, and they were all extremely loyal, so he was not afraid of any problems.
"According to the preliminary investigation, it's because of the removal of slavery.”Ma Zhou did not have a good impression of the aristocratic families. Back then, he was ostracized by the aristocratic families, which was why he resigned and came to the capital to try his luck.
Therefore, Ma Zhou supported Li Shiming's suppression of the aristocratic families. It was also because of this that he was extremely active in investigating the aristocratic families, and the news came very quickly.
"Have you found out what measures they are preparing to take?”Li Shi Min asked calmly.
"We didn't find out about this. The main reason is that they chased their servants away when they were discussing.”
"Okay, then you can go down and continue to investigate. Report back if you have any news.”Li Shi Min said indifferently.
After Ma Zhou left, Li Shi Min rubbed his chin and thought, Are these people prepared to fight back? Or…
Li Shi Min tapped his right hand on the armrest, thinking about what these people were going to do to deal with the matter of being removed from slavery.
When Kong Yingda and the others found out the reason why these aristocratic families had come to look for them and the methods they were prepared to use.
